[W"#88]Lauren Boebert votes against bill for veterans dying from burn pits after ‘disrespectful’ SOTU heckling

[vegas giants]

Pelosi?

No Bobert

Maybe she just hates veterans

seemingly so..... it is a fair thing to conclude based on her vote in the absence of a reasonable counter-narrative. For now, we can assume Lauren Boebert hates vets.

I think there is a very good chance that she is a one and done congressmen. I have not seen the re-districted western Colorado district, but the west does have some strong blue pockets of several ski towns within. There is also a restricting plan that would incorporate Boulder into her district. If so, she is toast.

Where Voters Are Losing Patience With Lauren Boebert

Swing voters in Pueblo, Colorado’s “Steel City,” say they are getting frustrated with a U.S. representative they see as more focused on her own celebrity than her constituents.

3 reasons the latest draft of Colorado’s congressional map may spell trouble for Lauren Boebert

The independent commission charged with redrawing Colorado’s congressional map released its latest draft last week and one of the most eye-popping elements of the proposal is how it draws two disparate incumbents into the same 2nd District: Republican firebrand Lauren Boebert and liberal...

No Bobert

I was talking about Pelosi. Biden probably should have mentioned the 13 service members killed, as well as the children he killed with the drone strike. Don't you agree?

Biden drone attack 'killed innocent AID WORKER & 7 kids - not ISIS-K bomber'

A DRONE strike that the Biden administration said wiped out an ISIS-K bomber actually killed an innocent aid worker and seven children who were running out to greet him, a harrowing report claimed …

Biden is a Democrat. He was the only one speaking.

Alternative facts?

Were you exposed to a burn pit while serving in Grenada? Call Bloomberg, Goldberg & Weinberg and we'll get you a 100% disability rating!

That's what people like you do: fabricate lies about what other people think.

He did mention those killed.


She yelled out at the sotu address


Should members of congress do that?

Or maybe it's the truth

 

[Cordelier]

Which makes it all the more odd that she would stand up and smile and rub her hands together in glee. I don't get it.

Because she knew what a long, hard struggle it was to get this Bill to the floor.

The Republicans have been trying to gut it every step of the way. I'll give you an example.... Rep. Miller-Meeks (R-IA) proposed an Amendment which would have cut healthcare eligibility for veterans from 10 years after service separation to 5 years. It was narrowly defeated 203-223. Republicans supported it 203-4.

I'm no oncologist, but I don't think all that many cancers manifest themselves within 5 years, unless you're ingesting a ludicrous amount of carcinogens. 10 years seems a lot more realistic to me.... hell, if I had my druthers, I'd bring it out to 20 years!

How about you?

 

[Plasmaball]

If we're going to call out one member of congress for being "disrespectful" we should call out all of them. Pelosi's giddy and gleeful response to burn pits was incredibly odd behavior.

Nah. That's just your bias

 

[Taylor]

He did mention those killed.

Should members of congress do that?

There's certainly a precedent.

 

[vegas giants]

There's certainly a precedent.

Yes a previous Republican congressman did it


What is wrong with these people?


Should every congressman do this?

 

[Hamish Howl]

What else was in the bill that she was saying "no" to.

Amazingly enough, she didn't give a reason.

She must be 95 now and needs to go to the same retirement home with Pedo Joe, who taught his son well. Maybe there'll be some grandkids there.

Well she's not

Now you're making stuff up. It was introduced less than a year ago with bipartisan support and they knew it would pass.

I don't think that's any reason to cheer. Did you watch the SOTU speech? Did you grin and start jumping up and down in excitement when Biden spoke about cancer and burn pits?

BUTWHABOUT!!!?????

Why do you guys have to pull this crap in every damn thread? Boebert voted against the bill, and heckled Biden while he's speaking about it. Pelosi MIGHT have been too enthusiastic about getting this thing through Congress and funding programs to help disabled vets. I guess in MAGA land, those are equivalent. It's stupid, but apparently that's your position.

Hopefully she announces her retirement this November. It's past time.

 

[JasperL]

...for not mentioning the 13 service members killed in his botched pullout.

And that's just her doing the same bullcrap "BUTWHABOUT???!!!! exercise you're doing on this thread.

Is this as good as it gets for right wing arguments?

Why did bobert vote against it and yell out at the sotu?

Jasper doesn't want the deaths of service members and civilians to get in the way of his virtue signaling over the importance of the lives of service members and civilians.

Jasper doesn't want the deaths of service members and civilians to get in the way of his pretending to care about the lives of service members and civilians.

Do you want the survivors to get healthcare?


Bobert does not

You literally have no idea. Even if you take the Vietnam/Agent Orange struggle aside, veterans have been fighting for legislation like this since the Gulf War syndrome started showing up in the early 90's.

My reaction? I seem to recall it being along the lines of punching the air and shouting "Yes!".... so the Speaker seems kind of restrained to me.

Which makes it all the more odd that she'd act the way she did. Kamala was no doubt thinking "WTF is this woman doing???"
